HMD unveiled four devices this week, most interesting among them being the globe-trotting Nokia 8.3 5G, which packs a Snapdragon 765G, quad camera, 6.81-inch LCD and will go on sale at €599 this summer.

Huawei P40 lineup - what to expect

Even though the upcoming Huawei P40-series won't be loaded with Google Mobile Services the flagship series from the Chinese maker some of the most anticipated handsets this year. The announcement date is set for March 26 but we got plenty of early leaks to have a good idea what to expect. So much so in fact that we felt we need to sum them up and compile a nice little cheat sheet. Following the footsteps of Apple and Samsung, Huawei is planning to release three versions of its P40 handset - the usual vanilla and Pro models will be joined by a Premium Edition, which will be the highest...

The new phones and tablets of the week

We are living in times of uncertainty with most of the world in lockdown. One thing that remains a constant is the non-stop arrival of new phones. We had plenty of new arrivals in the past week, including an online launch by HMD where we saw no less than four phones, and two new iPads with dual cameras. Nokia 8.3 • Nokia 5.3 • Nokia 1.3 • Nokia 5310 Samsung is already selling its Galaxy S20 lineup around the world, so now it's focusing on refreshing its mid-range portfolio.

Weekly poll: can the Redmi Note 9 Pro and Pro Max win your affections?

The Redmi Note series is back and better (and bigger) than ever. We've really only seen the Pro model so far and its Max variation - we'll go over the differences in brief before directing you to our virtual voting booth. The Redmi Note 9 Pro Max goes up to a 6.67" screen, slightly larger than the previous Pro generation. The aspect ratio is taller and the selfie camera is inside a small punch hole (rather than a wide teardrop notch), making more efficient use of the surface area on the front. That's a 32MP camera, by the way. The rear camera is largely unchanged with a 64MP sensor...

Weekly poll results: the Realme 6 and 6 Pro share the fan love equally

"Both are good" is the result from last week's poll when we presented the Realme 6 and 6 Pro for your approval. These two ended up within less than a percentage point of each other. The Realme 6 came up on top by the narrowest of margins. It looks like the company nailed the pricing and differentiation between the two models. People in the comments spoke highly of the MediaTek Helio G90T chipset and appreciated the inclusion of 30W fast charging on the non-Pro model. One of the extras on the Realme 6 Pro is the 2x telephoto camera (12MP sensor), the other is a Snapdragon 720G chipset...
